Fits to the great social reformer of India.

In 1924, he joined Maharajas College, [Thiruvananthapuram, and gained a degree in Chemistry. He was supported financially for his education by a wealthy relative, as his father could not afford the expenses. He also worked as a teacher for a short span of time before he moved to the Government Law College, Thiruvananthapuram in 1933.
